Kennoway shows he has the X Factor!

PETER Kennoway ensured Glebe Rangers left the North West on the right note, slotting home the winner against Institute on Saturday to give the locals an impressive victory and vital three points.

Glebe travelled to Drumahoe eager to get back to winning ways after a somewhat disappointing couple of weeks results-wise.

But star performer on the day - Kennoway - showed he had the X Factor in front of goal to ensure a 1-0 victory.

Boss Gareth Scott was delighted with the win and the performance of his side.

“It was a great result for the team and fully deserved,” said Scott.

“It was a hard fought game throughout but I felt we controlled the midfield with Forgrave, Kennoway, Marks and Nicholl while Tommy Elder and McAllister up front were excellent.

“As were the back four and goalkeeper who were solid on the day. A great all round performance.

“It’s no mean feat picking up three points away from home against a former Premiership team.

“This league is so tough this year it is unreal but wee Glebe Rangers will certainly be able to hold their own.”

Trevor Parkhill has been ruled out for a month with a groin strain sustained at training but the good news for Scott is that Owen Moody is said to be less than a fortnight away from fitness.

Meanwhile, Scott won the Merit Award at the North Antrim Sports Award on Saturday evening, and told Times Sport he was chuffed with the accolade.

“I am delighted to get recognition and for the club to get recognition for last year’s great escape,” he added.

“I was honoured to be there on Saturday with the top stars from what is a hotbed for successful sportsteams and individuals - north Antrim.”
